RIP Brian Shul

Thanks for posting this. I haven't paid attention to anything aviation in the last week or so.

Here's a quick article of his life and death.

I had the chance to talk to him at the Reno Air Races one year when he wasn't busy. He was there every year selling his SR-71 book right behind the grandstands. Super nice and humble guy. I always wanted to buy one of his books but unfortunately couldn't justify that much money at the time. Hopefully someone is there to represent him at the last races in Reno in September.

He lived one heck of a full life.

RIP
 
RIP Brian.! I'm glad none of my rotary wing brethren in the TH-55 Mattel Messerschmitt chimed in that day at 50-55 grn speed.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
